Brad did a small double-take as Tsukiko began to whisper in Shinrei's ear. Since she said that she had no friends but her family... No wonder the poor girl was so messed. With family like that distasteful Light dormer, who needed enemies?
But relation to newfound friend or no, Brad would not let such a divisive person continue to spout such spiteful words. This guy had earned a ticket to Pissed-Off-Bradsville. Population: 1 Duel Style Ass Whoopin'.
Well, at least, that was the plan. Given his current record, it seemed more than a little possible that he might lose and this important lesson would backfire. Perhaps he should've stayed out of this whole ordeal.. But he remembered he wasn't alone in this endeavor.
As he followed Shinrei, ignoring his snide remarks, he turned to his partner. The Wind dorm student had a glint in his eye, a hunger that Brad had seen on the pitch with his teammates, moments away from sweet victory. Vincent wanted this win, as much if not more than Brad did.
"Let's show this guy what a team can do, y'know?" he said, with a determined shine in his own narrow dark brown eyes as they arrived at the arena. Taking up his position on the left of Vincent, he locked eyes with his opponent. Time ta nut up or shut up! as Coach always said.
